Will Altmer do well as a DK? Or maybe Redguard? Orc?

I have Imperial Templar (magicka build) lvl 10 and a Dark Elf DK (also magicka) lvl 8, but would like to try a different approach. Thought about Imperial/ORC/Redguard DK for a tank or Altmer DK for better dps? Or Altmer Templar for future use as a healer?
The limited space for alts here gives me a headache. any thoughts?

As a DK Tank the Imperial does wonders. Now with the Dark Elf DK you should make that one a Dps build and forget about the Altmer dk dps, believe me the fire dmg boost a dark elf gives is killer for the class skills of a DK. Yes an Altmer does buff the effects of the elements and buffs magicka but with a DK, you'll be using both magicka and stamina, you'll just be using one more than the other.

The Dark Elf buffs magicka and stamina, gives a nice flame resistant buff and increases your flame dmg by a massive amount which you'll definitely notice in the later levels. An Altmer does the best as a sorcerer Dps but because it's a sorcerer it'll be squishy but on pc I have done a 30k dps in a fight so they can do massive damage if built properly. I'd recommend Breton for Templar.

I have Imperial and Altmer stamina dps DK's (both Vet 16). Both of them are very good at killing......no big difference really. My tank is a VET 16 Nord but I don't play him very often anymore because I don't care for tanking.

Basically mag dk - dark elf

Stamina dk - Redguard
